Not quite like any other brewery in the US, Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales allows its beers to develop under the influence of local wild yeast. All beers are aged in barrels, and are often blended and re-fermentated in the bottle to deliver effervescent beer. Though its output is small, the brewery has developed a national following.

Oro de Calabaza

beer style: Belgian Strong Golden Alealcohol content: 8% ABV

Golden and cloudy, tart and spicy, with orchard fruit and citrus. Develops with age.

Bam Biere

beer style: Saisonalcohol content: 4.5% ABV

The whole exceeds the sum of its parts in this “farmhouse” ale, from the hops (billowing head, dry finish) to the spicy malts.
